Normally only available in white, black non-matching-color-to-your-Wii-console Wiimotes (bundled with a corresponding black Wii MotionPlus accessory) and Nunchuks will be heading their way into stores this holiday season.
After just four and a half months, the Nintendo DSi line-up is getting rejuvenated with additional colors of Pink and White. April 5th launch colors available were Matte Blue and Matte Black. The Pink one appears to be the same as the one released in Japan.
The Japan-exclusive black Nintendo Wii is available to people in the USA after all, via importation that is.
SuperUFO is selling the black Nintendo Wii for $333 (seems to be out of stock as of the moment, so keep checking!), definitely priced higher than the normal white Wii’s that you see everywhere. Getting something exclusive almost always puts a dent on your wallet.
Looks like the US is on the losing of the game console world again. A Nintendo America representative stated to GameDaily (with regards to getting a piano gloss black Nintendo Wii onto US shores):
“no plans to have other colors of Wii in the U.S.”
Who knew?! Nintendo‘s Piano Gloss Black Wii is expected to come in a snazzy looking black box on August 1, 2009 in Japan. That is all.

As always, Japan gets these nice colored and unique Nintendo gaming consoles first. Remember those Pink, Lime Green and Metallic Blue DSi’s? Introducing new colors seems to be a good marketing tactic for both Nokia and Nintendo.
